An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the flick but since I have a weak spot for Uma Thurman, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though it didn’t turn out to be one of Thurman’s most misguided career choices, this movie was still seriously weak though. Indeed, it was basically one of these typical quirky indie romantic-comedies but, to be honest, pretty much nothing worked with the damned thing, I’m afraid. First of all, the beginning was just seriously scattered and the movie pretty much never really recovered from this really poor start. In fact, from the moment these two guys ended up by ‘accident’ at this wedding, I had actually pretty much figured out the whole plot which made the main character look even more pathetic than he already was. To make things worse, even though the characters were obviously supposed to be funny, they were in fact all rather obnoxious and/or seriously vapid. At least, Uma Thurman still looked really lovely and her performance was actually not so bad at all but, in my opinion, she had barely any chemistry with her co-stars. On top of that, it was rather difficult to root for this woman who chose a lover who was just as annoying as her fiancée was but only in a slightly different way. To conclude, I think I might have been actually slightly generous with my rating here and it was probably due to the fact that Thurman has spent actually much of her career showing up in some garbage even worse than this flick. Anyway, you should probably avoid the damned thing.
